‘9-1-1: Lone Star’ Season 5 Trailer: Catastrophic Train Derailment Unleashes “Poison Cloud Of Death”
“Dispatch, we have a problem.” That’s putting it mildly. We’re getting the first look at Season 5 of 9-1-1: Lone Star and it promises to be devastating for Austin’s 126, led by Rob Lowe‘s Captain Owen Strand.
Fox released the first trailer Monday for the fifth season which premieres September 23 on the network and next day on Hulu.
As Deadline previously reported, there has been rampant speculation that the 12-episode fifth season will be the last, but there’s no indication of that in the trailer. That speculation picked up speed when we learned that Sierra McClain, one of the series regulars, quietly left the series following some cast renegotiation drama.
In the upcoming fifth season, Captains Strand (Lowe) and Vega (Gina Torres) along with the 126 team, race into action when a catastrophic train derailment endangers several lives, including some of their own. With Judd (Jim Parrack) resigning from the 126 to take care of his recently handicapped son Wyatt (Jackson Pace), Owen must find a new lieutenant to replace Judd and has a difficult decision ahead of him when both Marjan (Natacha Karam) and Paul apply for the promotion. Tommy is ready to take the next step in her relationship, but she finds the road to happiness is filled with obstacles. On his 30th birthday, T.K. gets a surprise visit from someone from his past that could change his and Carlos’ lives forever. Now officially husband and husband, T.K. and Carlos’ marriage is put to the test when Carlos becomes obsessed with solving his father’s murder.
9-1-1: Lone Star follows members of Austin’s 126 Fire Department led by Captain Owen Strand (Lowe) who, along with his adult son, T.K. (Ronen Rubinstein), moved to Texas to help rebuild the firehouse which had experienced a tragedy of its own. His team of diverse and qualified first responders include widowed Paramedic Captain Tommy Vega (Torres), Judd Ryder (Parrack), who was the sole survivor of Austin’s original 126 house after a rescue call ended in tragedy; Marjan Marwani (Karam), an adrenaline junkie and badass firefighter who also is a devout Muslim; Paul Strickland (Brian Michael Smith), a transgender male firefighter, who bravely decided to transition on the job in Chicago and has a gift for observation worthy of Sherlock Holmes; and rookie firefighter Mateo Chavez (Julian Works). Settling into his new home, T.K. caught the eye of police officer Carlos Reyes (Rafael Silva) and the two began a romantic relationship, eventually marrying in the Season 4 finale. T.K hung up his firefighter helmet to become a full-time paramedic under Tommy’s guidance and works closely with fellow paramedic Nancy Gillian (Brianna Baker).
